Share your location

Get more useful information from sites by letting them see your location. For example, by sharing your location, you can find food near you faster.

Let a site know your location

By default, Chrome asks you when a site wants to see your location. To let the site know where you are, choose Allow. Before sharing your location, review the site's privacy policy.

If you use Google as your default search engine on your phone, your location is used by default for your searches on Google.

Change your default location settings

On your iPhone or iPad, open the settings app.

Find and tap Chrome.

Tap Location.

Choose the option you want as your default setting.

Change Google's access to your location

When Google is your default search engine, your location is used for your searches in the address bar and on Google.

To stop using your location in searches, turn off Chrome's access to your location:

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.

Find and tap Chrome.

Tap LocationNever.

How Chrome shares your location

If you let Chrome share your location with a site, Chrome sends information to Google Location Services to get an estimate of where you are. Chrome can then share that info with the site that wants your location.
